Hey NS. I may have access to a 3d printer and want to print some pow baskets, does anyone know a link to the most realistic basket in the file that 3d printers use, I looked on thingverse but the only baskets there were were flat and impractical.

+k to helpful answers
 
Cant you just design a simple design in CAD or something plug it into the printer? Sign me up for a set though!
 
yo that's sick! i could model them and solidworks and send you and .STL file if you tell me the right dimensions of your poles and what you want em to look like.

what kind of printer though? some prints are super fragile

(p.s. i'm gonna make them dicks)

 
+ K to everyone. My moms boss's brother has a MakerBot printer. He said I could use ABS to print it so it should be durable enough. I think the shape would be similar to the line pow baskets. This is the one one thingverse, but it just looks like it wouldnt work very well

sorry for a dub post. But heres what I'd like them to look like. And if they work, I'll hook some newschoolers up.

If someone can make a good design, I'll print out a few pairs and create some type of contest. Post pics of the ones youve created. I'm going to download autocad and try and make some park baskets, they may be easier the pow baskets.
 
Update: Lets make this a contest, post your best examples, park or pow baskets, and I'll choose the best ones in a few days, if I can get access to the printer, I'll print out a few pairs, the winner will recieve a pair or two.
 
post the inside and outside radius dimensions that you want.

i left my computer at work but will post some stuff on monday night
 
the material for 3d printing is very expensive. the constructed parts are very rigid and i doubt they would hold up to abuse in low temperatures
 
OP is this the machine you'll be using?

If so, I would give up now. The stuff that comes out of that thing is not going to be durable enough for a ski basket.
 
I realized this last night, and to the person above me, I don't think thats the one they have but i'm not positive. I would be able to use ABS though
 
The Inside would need to be an inch and a half in diameter (38mm). And Id prefer if they were like 9 inches in diameter
 
7mm is inside diameter we've been pming his poles are not giant dildos. how thick do you want them btw
 
did this real quick. 8.5" wides, .3" thick, slightly curved. its the best i feel like doing this high on oxys
 
The CAD class at my school last year all made spinning tops and they were a really durable plastic. I don't know I think it really just depends OP
 
Usually you would do it in inventor, but the file needs to be converted into one that a printer can use (i think its an STL file), it tells it how to make it step by step. Isn't there software that comes with the printer you can use though? or is it just that you were more looking for an existing design?
 
just read the rest of this, I'll see if I can get inventor/other software back on my computer and give it a try tho
